We’ve had a passion for print since 1891 and are the oldest
company in Leigh, Lancashire but we’ve always invested in new
technology. That’s why we’re still here after over 125 years.
We’ve always been loyal to our roots but we like to think big!
Some of our regular customers have grown to be national companies
and we’re proud to continue as partners in their success.

Make your vision a reality.

Our designers provide the imaginative and original designs
that say exactly what you want them to say. These can be adapted
for a whole range of print products from booklets and business
cards to posters and pull up banners, meeting your needs and
personalising your marketing materials. Our Crescendo workflow
system guarantees that the proof you receive will be the file
that goes to print.

Copy & Distribution

Whether it’s a simple two-colour business card or an eye-catching
banner, our printers will produce your job efficiently and with care.
We can produce limited numbers or large amounts in either digital
or litho print and finish it on-site for you; binding, trimming,
perforating, creasing, numbering, encapsulating and laminating.
hen we’ll pack up your products and distribute them to one or
more locations.

Producing makes perfect

We’ve been practicing since 1891 so use our knowledge and experience to keep your costs down without compromising on quality. We’ve embraced new technology but retained traditional skills providing a personal touch and attention to detail which sets us apart from our competitors. We’re proud of our past but always looking to the future.

We believe that recruiting the right people is the key to our success as we depend on them to deliver our brand promises, day in and day out. That's why we only employ the best and most talented people in the industry and continually invest in training and development to maintain our high standards.

An eye for detail

When it comes to service we look after our customers. Whether you’re a large national company or a small or medium local business, we tailor our services to meet your needs and budgets. A dedicated Quality Manager will check that your job is produced on time, according to your specification and update you regularly.

‘We wanted to use other locally based companies so we chose Collins & Darwell for our marketing materials. I see Chris and Dave as business partners of Resapol, helping us to grow nationally. They are always available to supply their customer(s) with what they want, when they want it, offering much more than printing by way of in house design, innovative ideas and fantastic personal customer service.’

Phil Sturrock

Better Bathrooms (UK) Limited

‘We chose to work with Collins and Darwell who had a great reputation for delivering quality print, on time and within budget, to multiple locations throughout the UK. They provide quality print time and time again, often to tight deadlines, delivering the right quality and quantity to the right showroom with outstanding results every time. And as they are only 5 minutes from our head office, we can pop in and discuss our requirements over a cup of tea. You can’t ask more than that!’

Nick Baxendale

‘The team at Collins and Darwell are attentive, efficient and friendly. They have provided us with print services, including stationery, design and point of sale materials, over many years. No job is too large or too small. They always turn around work quickly and deliver a high quality end product on time, every time.’

‘PCS originally chose Collins & Darwell through a recommendation and their good reputation for a high standard of customer service and product. We find they have an excellent customer service ethic and are very personable, also the quality of the goods they supply are of a high standard.’

Eileen Smith

Variety on Merseyside, The Children’s Charity

‘Variety on Merseyside needed a replacement for our existing printer so when Nic approached us at a Business Fair we decided to try Collins & Darwell. They provide a very efficient design service and their product is excellent. Delivery is always on time even when we have given them orders at very short notice. They provide a personal service and are always available to discuss our requirements. We would not go anywhere else now for our printing.’

Mark Downs

Lancashire Rugby Football Union

‘Collins & Darwell print all our match programmes, match tickets, hardbacked member’s card, and dinner menus for our events, and arrange mail shots to our members. Their major strength is turning round an accurate, quality product in a very short time. Some teams are only published 24hrs before kick off and C&D have reacted quickly to get our work completed. They have always been the printer of choice due to the quality of service and price.’
